Verdict
Silk Hall can make experience count against Morocchius, with Tepee the other main player. Silk Hall has shaped with a degree of promise in both starts on the all-weather to date, having turned out at Lingfield before finishing fourth over a mile here last month. That latest form was franked by the third horse Rochefort at Windsor on Monday, and this drop back in trip is not seen as a problem at this stage of his career. Morocchius also caught the eye when fifth on his Goodwood debut, but that was on soft ground, and it remains to be seen how he will cope with the Polytrack. He is obviously well thought of though, having also been entered for the Hyperion Stakes at Ascot this weekend. Tepee did not get the best of luck-in-running when fourth here last time, and she has a good draw, so will be of interest, while of the remainder, newcomers Harlem Shuffle, Scuffle and the Tregoning pair Rowad and Jasoora should all be noted in the market. For the winner though we return to Silk Hall.
